Overview

Since 2007, the Ohio Workforce Coalition brings together leaders from education and training institutions, economic and workforce development organizations, business and industry, labor, and human service providers. The Coalition promotes public policies that build the skills of adult workers, meet employer skill needs, and strengthen the workforce system to ensure opportunity and prosperity for Ohio families.

P/PV is now accepting new data for The Benchmarking Project.
Has your workforce program signed up yet?

The Benchmarking Project’s goal is to identify meaningful outcome benchmarks for the workforce development field, so that practitioners, funders and policymakers can be better informed about what constitutes “good” performance. To date, 214 programs from 159 organizations across the country have submitted their aggregate data. In return for participation, they receive reports with anonymous comparisons of their placement and retention outcomes to those of similar programs and benefit from a variety of online learning opportunities.

To learn more about the project, sign up for an informational conference call by emailing benchmarking@ppv.org; the next call will be held on Tuesday, June 29, at 1 p.m. EST. To view additional dates and to learn more about eligibility requirements, click here.

P/PV is accepting new program data through August 13, 2010. Confidential reports will be available online (new!) this fall.

We hope you will join us in learning more about your organization’s performance and in shaping meaningful outcome measures for the broader workforce development field.
